” We have always tried not to be better than others, but to constantly improve and overcome ourselves to show that we are a reliable and committed health care institution in the region. High scoring for the fulfillment of accreditation standards after the first round of accreditation process has shown that we are on the right path. It is the result achieved by hard- working employees in this hospital, as well as the result built on a foundation of many of mine predecessors managers and responsible leaderships.” said director of Clinical Center Tuzla Ass. Prof. Nešad Hotić in the introductory meeting with the representatives of AKAZ. On the occasion, director of AKAZ Ass. Prof. Ahmed Novo handed over decisions on the accreditation status for the first five Clinics examined in March this year.
